POLYQUATERNIUM-10

Natursol PQ10 LM – Cellulose-Based Cationic Conditioning Polymer

Polyquaternium 10 is a water-soluble conditioning agent derived from natural cellulose.

Natursol PQ10 LM , thanks to its cationic structure, allows you to provide excellent care for both hair and skin. It also conditions the hair without accumulating residue or reducing hair volume.

POLYQUATERNIUM-10 SUPPLIER FOR COSMETIC & HAIR CARE MANUFACTURERS

ACTA Chemicals supplies Polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10), a water-soluble, cellulose-derived cationic conditioning polymer used in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Our product, NATURSOL PQ10 LM, is designed for manufacturers developing shampoos, hair conditioners, hair treatments, facial cleansers, and other compatible personal care products.

As a Polyquaternium-10 supplier, ACTA Chemicals supports cosmetic manufacturers seeking cellulose-based conditioning ingredients for professional formulations.

Polyquaternium-10 is valued for its hair conditioning, antistatic, film-forming, and detangling properties. It helps improve hair softness, wet combability, and manageability while reducing static electricity.

Its cellulose-derived structure makes it an attractive option for formulators exploring alternatives to synthetic conditioning polymers.

ACTA Chemicals supplies NATURSOL PQ10 LM raw material for cosmetic and personal care manufacturing.

WHAT IS POLYQUATERNIUM-10?

Polyquaternium-10 is a cationic polymer commonly used in hair and skin care products. It makes hair soft and shiny, making it easier to comb. Polyquaternium- 10 reduces static electricity and coats the hair shaft, providing protection against external factors. Its water-soluble nature also makes it noteworthy in skin care for its moisturizing and softening properties. It is generally considered a safe ingredient in cosmetic products.

Why Polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10)?

Natursol Pq-10 LM Polyquaternium-10, with its naturally derived cellulosic structure, possesses environmentally friendly properties. This polymer, with 43% bio-based carbon weight, is GMO-free and a strong alternative to Polyquaternium-7.

Areas of Application

Polyquaternium-10 offers a wide range of applications in both hair and skin care:

Clear and opaque shampoos
2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners
Hair conditioners
Facial cleansers
Shaving products
Body wash products
Micellar waters and facial scrubs

Benefits

Provides effective protection for hair and skin.
Polyquaternium-10 may help prevent skin dryness.
Polyquaternium-10 improves the appearance and texture of damaged hair.
It offers high efficiency at low usage levels.
Polyquaternium 10 It is compatible with a wide range of surfactants and is salt tolerant.

AC-PQ1004

Polyquaternium 10 is compatible with a variety of surfactants, including anionic, amphoteric, non-ionic, and cationic surfactants. If necessary, small amounts of alkaline regulators such as NaOH and KOH can be added and stirred until completely dissolved to facilitate faster dissolution.

Polyquaternium-10 in shampoos softens and makes hair easier to comb, reduces frizz, protects and moisturizes the hair. It forms a thin film on the hair strands, protecting them from external factors and giving them a healthy appearance.

Key Formulation Tips

Formulating amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants before adding anionics helps prevent compatibility issues.

Add the other ingredients to the formulation.

Adjusting the pH balance before adding salt is important to ensure the stability of the formulation.

Alternative Formulation Procedure

Disperse PQ10 as a premix in substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and perfume.

This premix can be added to the formulation before surfactants are added and pH is adjusted, resulting in a more homogeneous and effective formulation.

Storage Warranty Period

The warranty period is 24 months from the date of manufacture, provided the product is stored in its original, unopened packaging. It should be stored in a cool, dry place.

POLYQUATERNIUM-10 FOR SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER & SKINCARE FORMULATIONS

Polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10) is a cellulose-derived cationic polymer widely used as a conditioning and antistatic ingredient in hair care and personal care formulations.

In shampoo formulations, Polyquaternium-10 helps improve wet and dry combability, reduce static electricity, and enhance hair softness and smoothness.

In hair conditioners and conditioning treatments, its film-forming properties contribute to improved detangling, manageability, and a pleasant sensory feel.

Polyquaternium-10 may also be incorporated into compatible facial cleansers, body washes, shaving products, and skincare formulations to enhance conditioning performance.

NATURSOL PQ10 LM offers a water-soluble conditioning polymer option for manufacturers developing formulations with compatible anionic, amphoteric, nonionic, and cationic surfactant systems.

For manufacturers sourcing Polyquaternium-10 raw material, important formulation considerations include polymer hydration, surfactant compatibility, processing conditions, and the desired conditioning performance.
